Gordie Howe bridge marks milestone as official crossing, work to continue into 2025

Canada's construction news

@GORDIEHOWEBRG — Crews recently completed the installation of the final two edge girders linking the Gordie Howe International Bridge deck on each side of the Canada-U.S. border. This photo, posted on X, shows workers from both countries shaking hands across the border, with the Canada and U.S. flags behind them.

While the project won’t open before next year, an update on construction of the Gordie Howe International Bridge says ironworkers and operating engineers marked the milestone on Friday. In 2012, former prime minister Stephen Harper announced the construction of the bridge, whose cost has since risen to $6.4 billion, and it was later announced it would be named after the hockey legend who starred for the Detroit Red Wings.
